Knit & Knag Designs

I have just finished my very first pair of gloves. The pattern is Bobbie by Julia Mueller.
Knitting gloves is very much like knitting socks – except that I enjoy the result a lot more, since I can admire the gloves up close. Besides, it’s certainly cold enough in Ottawa that I have a long season during which to use them.
This is the first pattern in which I’ve knit an applied i-cord. While I can’t say that I loved the process, the result is amazing. I particularly like the i-cords attached to the cuffs. They make such a difference in the look of the gloves. They look more “finished” once the i-cords were on.

My gauge was slightly different from the pattern, so I had to switch down to 2.0 mm needles with my Wollmeise 100% yarn. The colour is Gazpacho and includes green, bright red and burgundy.
